When researching my Rogers family near Weston under Penyard I found a "Millenium book" that the parish had printed, there was an account of an Ennis/Smith family being sent to the US, paid for by the parish (a tax) this family was linked to the Rodgers and Meek families who went became Mormons and went to Ytah, USA. And I'm sure it mentioned that Elgar's mother was born at Hanley Cottage above Pontshill near Weston. My Rogers family must have moved in when Elgar's mothers family moved to Worcestershire. Hanley farm and hanley cottage are still there.
